It's a nice building, I like the location too. To the East of the main tower is some sort of 2/3 story utility building that sandwiches a driveway. That building must be one of the narrowest approved for Manhattan construction in decades

Was driving in from Jersey on 78 to Holland Tunnel, a route which affords great views of downtown, and this tower looked just like 1 Wall Street (nee Irving Trust co. - one of the most beautiful ever built), except 20 stories taller. Its cladding, massing, crown were beautifully-similar to 1 Wall, so at that distance it could easily pass for a 1920s icon by the same architects. Can think of no better compliment. (Of course, without the deco/period ornament, it can't stand with the pre-wars in the closer views)
